10 months......!

Well this week was wired... i got to go on exchanges in a Tongan ward... so much food!!!!!!! And it was great to teach with a experienced elder again, not that I don't love training... it's just hard sometimes hahah

We met with our investigators a few times this week. Andrew is doing great! But we will have to pass him off. :(

Angel is also doing great, but we need to get him to read the Book of Mormon.

Darion is up in Sacramento area... some little town half way to Lake Tahoe. It was really sad to have to say goodbye to him. :( he asked us to say a prayer with his family every once in a while. so  our adventures with his family are not yet finished!

So not a lot of time this week!

A New WEEK!

Well this week was going good... till I got these letters, or postcards or should I say RUB-IT-MY-FACE-PICTURES from Waterton. Is that even a place? I am pretty sure it is a mythical land full of fairies and centaurs hahaha

Actually the week went really well!

Sounds like your week has been as busy as mine! hahah

On the note of the temple, we are going to be going to the temple sometime soon. We are allowed to take our own names to the temple so if you have a male name that needs done please send it down here soon! I would love to be able to take a family name to the temple!

So as far as pictures go I can send pictures, but not videos. so I will send some more pics today, but no videos hahah sorry

so this week was alot better! hahah

Tuesday we were able to reteach Darion the Purpose and necessity of the Priesthood. It really helped him understand the he needs to be baptized in this church!!! It also helped him realize that he would just be joining a church here in Victorville, but that he would be joining a world wide church. We explained that no matter where he goes in the world he will be able to find the same church teaching the same things. This meant a lot because he will be moving up to Sacramento area this weekend. This will hopefully put him in a better environment to feel the spirit.

Wednesday we went to the trainee/trainer 4 week meeting, pretty much just to see if anyone is insane yet hahah we all are so things are good. so that took up most of the day, but we were still able to find a new investigator! so that was good!

Thursday one of the ZL's was sick so we helped them out again and did some mini exchanges. we were still able to teach a few people though which was really good.

Saturday we were on exchanges again. this time with Parkview elders. I was with my old companion Elder Clark again! it was great to be back with him! hahah it was just like old times hahah. We had a good day and were able to set a baptismal date with one of his investigators!  super cool!

Love you all here are some pictures... sorry the ones last week didn't turn out

A bummer of a week....

So this week was one of those weeks that you wish you didn't have, but you know that if you didn't have them you wouldn't appreciate any of the other weeks.

so monday was monday... except darion stood us up which hasn't ever happened before... and we couldn't find him after.... sad face

Tuesday- we had Zone meeting. It was good and i got a lot of answers from it but it long. i felt. We did however find a new investigator. He is a kid that has been coming to church for a while... I thought he was a less active member... or like only came with family on certain weeks... turns out he isn't a member and wants to learn! So that was great!

Wednesday- Zone Conference. REALLY LONG!... like really long. we started at 8 am ( which meant we had to be there at 730-45 ish) and the meeating went till 2 ...then a provided lunch... then i had a leadership meeting for another hour after that... so didn't do hardly any missionary work that day... kinda sucked. We did see Darion that evening, but it was kinda a shakey lesson and it left us wondering if we should baptize him or wait a little longer..

Thursday- Exchanges. Went really well actually. It was one of the bright spots in the week. the elder I was with is almost done and is a little trunky, but he still is a great missionary and a really simple teacher! it was a good day! Also saw Darion again... again shakey lesson.

Friday- weekly planning- missionaries dread weekly planning. We did get to help set up for the Sisters investigator's wedding ( don't worry we just did tables and chairs... no colors or clothes for me hahah) Then Darion was supposed to have his baptismal interview... but he didn't show... sad face. Definitely pushing his baptism back a little ways.

Saturday- taught Darion.... we asked him about Friday.... he said that he was stuck at the county office. We asked him if he felt ready... he said he felt ready, but not. 

Sunday- church... then we taught Cee again and it went really well actually.

He even committed to read and pray.

Hopefully the pics i send this week work!

Love you all!
